New York Thieves Tackle a Green Sub
ject but He Proves Too Much
for Them.

William M. Rosa is a resident of
Liberty, Sullivan county, says the
Kingston On. Y Freeman. He is a
solidly built individual, with some
what determined expression on his
face. On his vest he wears gold
badge of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, showing that he is an old
veteran. Mr.. Rosa said to a reporter:
Il had little affair with bunko steer

tell, so as to warn Others. have the
dates and other data right here. I
was in New York on business con-
nected with an estate. As was going
down from the city hall to take the
ferry l was accosted by gentlemanly
appearing man on the street. He
made friends with me, saying he was
formerly from Monticello, Sullivan
county. He said he had started a
factory uptown to manufacture cloth
out of horsehair, and he would like
to have me go up and see it. He had
found out my business, which is that
of an agent.
But, says he, If you don't wish
TO go clear up there, / have got some
samples would like to show you on
Mott street, if you will go along with
me- He promised to give me enough
cloth for suit of clothes. He would
like to have me take up couple of
samples to some friends of his in Sui
liyan. He mentioned the names of
several firms in that county that /
knew 20 naturally I did not suspect
anything. We got on street car.
He paid my fare and we rode up to
Mott street. He took me to No. 129

cloth over it. A man sat there as if
he owned the office. He didn't appear
to recognize my companion. The
man with me said:
Il left my sachel here
oh, yes, excuse me- said the
other, as he reached under the table
and took out sample sachel. He
opened it and showed about forty diff
ferent styles and patterns of cloth,
very nice, all numbered in good order.
He gave me the prices, which l knew
were very low. l selected what l

suit of clothes. About as | had made
my selection in walks man carrying
an ordinary traveling-sachel, saying
that he was from Missouri, and had
just made sale of number of car
loads of cattle amounting to $50, 1000.
AT the same time he opened a sachel
showing large stacks of money, with
800 bills on the top of each.

Where Prince Napoleon Died.

One of the most horrible sights /
have ever seen was the field of the
disaster of Isandlwana in Zululand.
1t was four months after the disaster.
The 1000 dead bodies had been lying
bleaching in the hot sun unburied all
that time The Zulu vultures had not
touched them. The bodies had with
cred away to skeletons incased in
skins that had become like leather.
One could trace how they had fallen,
and occasionally rallied in groups to
make desperate stand against their
enemies. The corn which had fallen
out of the wagon had sprung up
among the dead. | have seen battle
fields after the fight strewn with dead
and dying, heard the shrieks and
groans of the wounded, but that sight
was nothing like the horrible field hf
Isandlwana. Later on | saw the dead
body of the young Prince Imperial.
He was lad of great brightness and
on the voyage out ne expressed anx-
iety about receiving wound from an
assegai. He lay on the field quite
naked, covered with wounds. Round
his neck was thin gold chain and
locket, attached to which was a picture
of his mother. We took this off and
sent it to the Empress, and then care
fully carried him from the field. It
was curious and cast gloom over
me, that / should see this young
Prince receive, as his father called it.

PRISON ESCAPE.
Two tramps, Smith and Connors by
name, who were confined in large cell
at the city prison, succeeded in making
their escape at an early hour yesterday
morning. The corrugated tin roofing of
the cell was torn down by their fingers
alone, and creeping between that and
the upper roof to skylight they broke
q pane of glass and reached the roof,
from where they jumped to the ground.
They had to tear off the tin In
two places, one overhead in the
cell, which they could easily
reach by climbing on the window sill,
and the other surrounding the akylight.
Other cells give evidence of the same
thing having been attempted, and an
examination of the prison shows that
there is but one cell in the place that
can be called at all safe. The rest ap.
